5'2 scheduled for surgery on the 31 of October most recent weight. 202. Exited / nervous

I shall be thinking of you on the 31st. I can still remember how excited I was this time last year (I was lucky that I wasn't one bit nervous) and d'you know, the excitement is still there. I'm still on my journey as my goal weight is still 14lbs away. Every ounce that I lose still thrills me.

Good Luck for your surgery day and for the roller coaster of a wonderful ride that you are in for.

@@rmg19881015 by the way... I'm a wreck too. I'm so worried about blood clots, and the anesthesia. I bought the GasX strips, as I've heard the gas is the worst part after surgery. So... as I told my surgeon, "please, don't let me wake up La Morte...". LOL Another worry...acid reflux. I hope and pray that I don't get that. Good Luck to you. We'll both be wearing the same costume on the 31st...

I don't yet. I meet with one of the doctors Thursday for my physical and to decide what additional tests I may need and will go ahead and schedule my psych appointment and 1st nutriton appointment (I'm only required to do 3). I'm hoping for February or maybe March.

I'm 5'2. I had surgery on 8/18 and starting weight was 199. Now I'm 165. It's been no easy task. I work out everyday and still conscious of my food decisions. I love reading all your post. Keep up all the hard and good work everyone. Your worth it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
